And for putting me through school with the GI Bill.
You earned it DocLC.........

I was on Freedom once and attended a meet and greet with a senior officer(commander in the Navy) in the Schooner. Only time I ever saw anything by RCI. I have seen things on the bulletin board but usually seen them for specific branches or times of service. So check the board by guest services for anything like that.
Thanks Arebee,
As it's not in "our" nature to wait for things to happen, my intent is to locate the CD for my cruise and see if RCI would be willing to offer up a space/time.
It never hurts to ask....
​Cheers,
Joe

Many thanks DocLC and rjac.
I'll keep an eye open on board and see if one becomes promulgated.
The last one I attended the CD "hosted" the event by starting off with a welcoming introduction and letting the Vets speak if they wish.
Most took the mic and spoke of their service to "break the ice" and once everyone had a chance to speak, we found we all had something in common....our sense of duty to country and each other.
It was fun meeting up again in various lounges during the rest of the cruise and raising a pint or two whilst sharing a "dit" from the past.....

I've seen this question posted before, but not recently......
Does anyone know if RCI actively hosts / facilitates a Veteran's Meet and Greet during a cruise?
I've attended a few of these on other lines and found it a great place to relax and share experiences.

The dry dock facility is operational.
According to their website: "YARD OPEN as of October 10, 2016 8:00 am EST. GBSL advises that Hurricane Matthew passed over Freeport, Grand Bahama causing minimal damage to the shipyard. GBSL confirms that the shipyard is operational as of Monday, October 10, 2016."

What are these called, and what are they for?

Actually they are designed for the "Chains Officer" to observe the anchor as it "comes home" into the anchor housing pocket (where the anchor sits when fully up) . If the flukes of the anchor are not aligned properly (flat against the ships' side) the fluke could puncture the relatively thin metal of the hull.
Wow, my 33.5 years in the Navy finally paid off! We called them anchor wing ramps but the cruise industry may have another name for them. They can always be used as a heavy lift entry point as noted above, but the primary purpose is to observe the anchor as it comes up.
